New background tutorial is up! If you wanna learn how to make backgrounds like me, then this tutorial is a MUST WATCH. Learning how to use photomanipulation techniques to craft highly detailed backgrounds CHANGED MY LIFE. Everywhere I go, I run from women, which is hard since my pockets are so loaded down with the CASH and PRECIOUS METALS I've earned using this tech! Don't believe me? Then, here! View this testimony given by REAL WOMEN that I randomly interviewed on the street!


EDIT: It's been brought to my attention there are two versions of Clip Studio. Clip Studio EX and Clip Studio Pro. I use EX. An artist with the Pro version contacted me and let know that they weren't able to use half my tips because the functions I was using were not included in Pro. So, unfortunately, this tutorial will only be useful to people using EX! Sorry about this. It's been at least 4 years since I originally bought Clip Studio EX, and I just straight up forgot that there was another version of it. So, please excuse this oversight!


EDIT: An artist in the comments of one of my posts promoting this tutorial was kind enough to share some auto actions that could help CSP Pro users perform similar functions as the ones I showed in CSP EX: https://twitter.com/BombsAh0y/status/1644443418645479426?s=20

I recently re-watched all of Teen Titans! All five seasons come included with Amazon Prime, so if you got that shit, you've got Teen Titans. This show is very near and dear to my heart, and I put it up there with the greats, tied with Avatar: The Last Airbender and Ed, Edd, n' Eddy as my favorite cartoon of all time. So, I wanted to make a list of my top ten episodes!


(This list is not made in any particular order in regards to quality or favoritism.)


1) Mad Mod


The Titans are trapped in a Willy Wonka-esque funhouse full of traps and hypnotic television screens, and the showrunner is a crazy old Brit playing at being the Wizard of Oz. The episode also features a goofy ass Scooby-Doo chase sequence, which rules.


iu_914741_7280812.webp


2) Revved Up


Like the Mad Mod episode, this episode is not afraid to be silly as fuck. The Titans must go against the Ding Dong Daddy (I'm not kidding) in a race to win back a brief case the aforementioned patriarch has stolen. High speed hi-jinks ensue.


iu_914742_7280812.webp


3) Only Human


An episode revolving around the theme of Mind Over Matter. When Cyborg is forced to fight the robot warrior Atlus to save his friends, he must go beyond his mechanical limits to win! The scene that plays out in the episode's climax is something that still impacts the same way now as it did when I first watched this show back in elementary school. Inspiring!


iu_914743_7280812.webp


4) Date with Destiny


An evil mothman (I'm not kidding) holds the city hostage. To buy time while the other Titans track down the lunatic's location, Robin must...Take his daughter on a date. The best part about this episode is just how unabashedly jealous Starfire gets in regards to the situation. Her expressions in this episode are all their own masterworks.


iu_914744_7280812.webp


5) X


A suit Robin originally used to disguise himself to infiltrate Slade's operations has been snatched by an unknown thief. Now, someone else is taking this suped up suit for a joyride. Red X's design is simple and edgy, but I love it. His theme is amazing as well, especially in the first fight scene. The thing is REALLY like about Red X though is the seemingly limitless arsenal of gadgets he has AND he can teleport. This dude fucks.


iu_914745_7280812.webp


6) For Real


Control Freak returns for the third time to test the Teen Titans. Except, they're not there. They're off fighting the Brotherhood of Evil, while the Titans East fill in for them. Control Freak is initially disappointed, but gains inspiration when someone in an online chat room mentions these new "Titans" need to be tested.


iu_914746_7280812.png


7) Hide and Seek


Raven has to baby sit a bunch of kids. She is not ready.


iu_914747_7280812.webp


8) Lightspeed


I put this episode in the same category as "Mad Mod," and "Revved Up" in the sense that it is just good fun. Kid Flash gives the Hive Five a hard time and has to play keep away with the Brotherhood of Evil's top assassin. Jinx is also there, which is great.


iu_914748_7280812.webp


9) Sisters


Blackfire is introduced in this episode.


iu_914749_7280812.png


10) Things Change


Through one way or another, a former member of the team who was believed to be gone forever, has returned. Beast Boy is adamant on making them return, but the old comrade denies ever knowing him or the Teen Titans. I remember watching this episode believing there'd be some kind of twist, that there would be more to come, that the former Titan would come back, but instead the show just...ended. That was it. At the time, this episode must've really felt like a slap in face, so many people must've felt so confused or just disrespected with a lack of answers. Now, as a grown man who's rewatched this show in its entirety, I've really come to respect this episode. It looked everybody dead in the face with such maturity and said "Things change. Show's over."


iu_914750_7280812.webp


When Teen Titans GO! first came out, a lot of people lamented what seemed to be the final passing of Teen Titans. Like the final nail had been put in the coffin. We would never get the answers we wanted. In the end, though, I firmly believe it's better that Teen Titans ended when it did. It ended while it was still good. The same cannot be said for so many other shows.

My top 10 favorite works of art that I've made from the year of 2022! The order these works are listed in has no bearing on their technical quality, or by any other metric for that matter. Rather, they are listed here for the personal impact they had on me, or how much I enjoyed making them and seeing them finished.


1) Elfen Sponge

2634336_bombsahoy_elfen-sponge.png?f1658105177


Elfen Lied is one of those shows that will have you completely invested in it for the first 7 minutes you watch it. You think you're going to be watching a melancholic sci-fi horror when it turns out you're going to be watching an ecchi harem that can't decide whether or not it also wants to be a melancholic sci-fi horror.


With that said, there's something I can't deny: I really like Lucy. The pink-haired, horned monster girl with psychic hands that can shred people in half and block bullets, and she's not afraid to just really kill someone in the most horrible way. Everything about her concept is so cool, but is continuously marred by the story's desire to keep her hidden behind the curtain for so much of it's duration. Sad!


2) Tennis Buddies


2760097_bombsahoy_ink-october-day-1-tennis-buddies.png?f1664664129


This is, hands down, some of the sharpest lineart I've ever made. To be honest, I think most of my art'd be like this if it wasn't for the fact that I feel the need to render my work in full color to meet some sort of market expectation. Maybe this coming year, I'll let myself relax a bit and make more simplistic pieces like this.


3) Graveyard Swimwear


2783955_bombsahoy_graveyard-swimwear.png?f1665846733


One of the most well rendered and sexy bodies I've made so far (imo). Plus, the bikini itself is something I really like, with the straps being these dried, spindly arm and hands grasping what one could only assume to be some kind of rotted, leathery flesh. The ghastly green lighting contrasts nicely with her lifeless purple skin, that is contrasted yet again against the backdrop of her ghost-white hair. Lastly, the long seams slit into her skin imply some kind of horrid dissection, but also aid to illustrate the curvature and dimension of her body!


4) Sarah DuBois


2790349_bombsahoy_sarah-dubois-the-boondocks.png?f1666185440


Not one of the 2D ladies you see too often, yeah? Well, Twitter seemed to think so too, because this is definitely my most popular post on there, with about 21.5k likes the last time I checked. This drawing was prompted by my rewatching of some Boondocks episodes posted on YouTube. I thought Sarah was cute (her season 2 onward design specifically), and the Boondocks itself is a show that has aged pretty gracefully. None of it feels dated, despite it featuring so much satire of the decade it came out of. It's just funny.


5) Julie Fawthe's Halloween Hoe-Down


2808606_bombsahoy_julie-fawthe-s-halloween-hoe-down.png?f1667147060


My USA gijinka (personified thing/idea)! Julie is always fun to draw. Her stars and stripes allow me to add so much depth and texture to her skin. I really liked how her dress and weird, veiny hat came out, but her eyes glowing behind her long, sinister bangs is what really sells the picture for me. The only thing I don't like about this piece is how the wrinkles around her waist came out. I'm not sure why, but I think I just made too many of them? They feel...crowded, but still a good pic nonetheless!


6) Snowfall


2927854_bombsahoy_snowfall.png?f1671297445


"She must cold," you're probably thinking! Don't worry, this is just a photoshoot. There's a big heater just outside the camera's view and assistant's are standing by with a big furry coat and hot coffee. All that aside, this drawing features a new technique I've only started doing in this past month or so: painting the hair instead of drawing the lines for it and then filling it in. I like my hair to look as organic, flowy, and a little bit messy as possible, but that's hard to always pull off when you use lines to make the hair. The painting tech takes a little longer and I have to add a couple extra layers, but the result is rather nice!


7) Septiembre Diaziseis


2735891_bombsahoy_septiembre-diaziseis.png?f1663347342


My newest gijinka joins my OC canon! Septiembre was created for the Mexico's independence day and her inclusion completes my North America gijinka trifecta! Her heterochromia (seperately colored eyes) is actually what inspired me to later give Julie Fawthe her own heterochromia later on.

The hardest part of making Septiembre was her name. My USA gijinka (Julie Fawthe) and Canada gijinka (Julie Faust), both have names that sound similar to the Independence Day dates of their respective countries (July first and fourth). Mexico's independence day is September 16, and I couldn't find any names that sounded similar to that, so pretty early on I just decided to have her first name be Septiembre (simply "September" in Spanish), but I still had a hard time getting a surname. I considered "de Los Santos" because it was the closest thing I could get to "dieciseis" (Spanish for 16). Then it hit me! The surname "Diaz" plus "seis" equals "Diaziseis." It was a cute pun, it sounds super close to "dieciseis," and it's math so you know it just make sense on its own.


8) Black Rock Ryuko


2652403_bombsahoy_black-rock-ryuko.png?f1659027312


I like doing media crossovers a lot so I wanted to try doing it with Black Rock Shooter and Kill la Kill. The connection? I've watched them both. That's all. Thank you for coming.


9) Julie Faust- Happy Canada Day!


2605584_bombsahoy_julie-faust-happy-canada-day.png?f1656691411


The debut of Julie Faust and her Quebecois parrot. The main challenge for Faust was deciding where to place her maple leaf. I thought about placing it on her stomach or chest, but decided against, because it meant that I'd have to put her in a low cut outfit or have her always showing midriff. While I'm sure many people would enjoy that, I wanted Faust to come off as more reserved and prudish than her other North American partners. So, I decided to give her a little leaf on each cheek. That way you can always tell she's Canadian despite what she's wearing! Faust also seems to be a fan favorite. I've had a few of my peers point out their own preference towards Faust more than once now.


10) Sheri (OC by Lawless)


2527760_bombsahoy_sheri-by-l4wless.png?f1652929957


With this piece, I wanted to make Sheri look like she was putting a lot of force into her attack, and sought to give her a lot of forward momentum. One leg steping forward, chest puffed out, head tilted down, and shoulders arched back- these things together helped to sell this pose! Additionally, the horizontal spaces of white I left in the background act as speed lines, further selling her momentum. The dramatic lighting illuminating from her lightning is a nice punctuation.😁


And that's it! If you're new to my profile and you've liked what you see here, then feel free to give me a follow! Thanks for reading, and I'll see you guys in the New Year.
